[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen has gotten their first girlfriend and I am very happy for them. I was wondering how to go about it though. Not in a punishment or overbearing kind of way but I want to support them and make it easy for them to open up about it in case of a need for advice. We talk and are close but we do not talk about these things often so I just want to make them as comfortable as possible. If any of you could share tips that'd be great.[/quote]

If you already have a good relationship with your teen, then it's fairly easy. Before my 16 yr old met her boyfriend, she was already talking to me about her friends, school, etc. just because we had that kind of relationship. Don't ask questions like you're interviewing or prying. Talk to them like a friend. Be naturally interested. Talk about yourself, how you were in HS and your own experiences. Do things together. The best conversations my daughter and I have happen in the car when it's just the 2 of us on our way to or back from shopping.  [/quote]
